(UN)BALANCED STRUCTURES

Fakultät für Architektur Innsbruck UniversitätTutor: Colin Fournier

The structures are based on the researches undertaken in the mid-twentieth century about the dissipative structures that explain the new vision of reality through the chaos. In summary, these are understood as an evolutionary process that goes alternating states of order to chaos and vice versa. These changes take place when the structure is in an imbalance state by external stimulations. When the structure reachs the bifurcation point, it can return to its original position (negative feedback) or, on the contrary, it can auto-evolve with a new internal structure (positive feedback). It will end into a state of instability that denotes hypersensitivity, in addition to a position of irreversibility. Both concepts are always present when we talk about mutations.
